While watching Spinal Tap the other day, I saw a commercial for maybe the greatest product ever. You see…apparently blankets are pretty damn inconvenient, so now you can get a blanket with sleeves!
Let’s pause to reflect on some of the greatest moments of this ad:
- The rhyming in the beginning that quickly gets dropped.
- The fact that your hands get caught in a blanket.
- Use your laptop with the snuggie. Great idea, just fry your scrotum so you can never have kids.
- Apparently when you’re reading with your kid and you’re both wearing Snuggies, you read books backwards. Take another look at that one…
- I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to play backgammon, but a blanket’s got in the way.
- Similar products cost up to $60. Really? There are similar products?
- This is available in three colors, but everyone in the ad is wearing the burgundy.
- Which of course causes everyone to look like they’re in a cult.
- Especially when outside roasting marshmallows (and preparing to sacrifice a virgin?)
- Even more especially when enjoying the outdoor sporting event.
- The high-five while in the snuggie.
- That booklight looks like it would help a lot in that incredibly bright room.
Did I miss any? Feel free to leave a comment.

These people all look very happy - I wish to subscribe to their group’s newsletter…
HAHA, i saw this while watching Spinal Tap too. I thought it was a joke commercial untill the end. If i EVER see anyone wearing one of these outside…oh man, in the least they will get laughed at so bad they will run away crying.
What a total rip-off of The Slanket
i wonder if the snuggie is flammable … also, you missed the FANTASTIC “peace” poster in the drafty dorm room.
it’s easier if they use a fucking sweater and put a blanket in your legs… i saw this commercial in mexico… that’s random…

Believe it or not, a friend of mine tells me that he’s seen some startup company preparing to sell a competing Snuggie-like coverup for suggested retail of ~$200. Only difference is that theirs is weather-proof. So hey, this IS a bargain!
Perfect for breaking the ole’ masturbation habit, the one thing your ‘free hands’ can’t do in the Snuggie.
your back would get awfully cold in this backwards robe. of course the invention of the robe is not relavent here
Am I the only one thinking Gramps looks like a Grandmaster Dragon on his night off from lynchin’?
Yay! Grandma’s arms are free so she can knit another snuggie! In.. yellow? I don’t think our leader approved THAT color…
Anyway, the snuggie is great! It frees your hands so you can drink the kool-aid quicker.
So, basically, it’s a fleece hospital gown. Creepy.
I’m just glad to know that when it’s all said and done, Jedi knights really aren’t that different from all of us normal people.
You left out the fact, that when the optional reading light fully deploys, it does so with a high pitched “ding”.
what about the girl at the sporting event whose arms were swallowed in the one-size-fits-all snuggie?
It’s like the stepford family. They’re all white, attractive, upper-middle class people. The women are blonde, the men are impeccably groomed, even the dog has sparkling teeth. Grandpa is probably going to stitch a lovely message in his snuggie: God Loveth the White Man.
“Perfect for those drafty dorm rooms!”
If you showed up to college with one of those, you would not make it out alive.
This is quite literally the most hilarious infomercial product Ive EVER seen
For the reading backwards: Maybe they’re reading a manga…?
XD Awesome comments. Also: My mom got my dad a snuggie. I was like O.o You did WHAT mom?! You got him a freaking SNUGGIE? (The book light is fun to play with XD) Anyways, I said You do know that it’s just a very long bathrobe that you wear BACKWARDS, Right? I do that all the time with my own bathrobe (not in public, mind you. Just when I’m cold and too LAZY to get my blanket XD) You don’t need to go out and buy this “specially designed” blanket. I mean, some jerk probably noticed that wearing a bathrobe backwards would be a great idea to sell…
ok, my rant’s over.
They are having snuggie pub crawls now! One coming up in Chicago with over 500 people attending already.
